Sorry Penn... sadly in the US everything has a double and triple meaning that isn't always pleasant. Not sure what to call us other than "user". What did it use to be??

I work with a woman from London who was at work singing a children's play song and one of the words in it is offense here in the US to a certain race. She actually had a complaint logged against her by another co-worker who overheard it. She had no idea that it was offensive - it's considered a children's song - fun in your country!!

There is a fine line between sanity and insanity.... Come walk it with me!
